Thomas Schnelldorfer, MD, PhD
Dr Schnelldorfer's diagnosis was a second opinion. It made more sense and he offered treatment for symptomatic relief that a prior team had not. I feel he's the best at what he does. He's precise without seeming. Harsh or disconnected. Everything is want in a surgeon.

Jana Simonds, MD
I still need the colonoscopy procedure and that will strengthen my trust and respect for the clinician. She came in very aloof and softened and hit more friendly by the end of the visit. It was a little off putting at first.
